Asked and answered. Less unsprung weight.

Why haven’t they been aluminum all along? Because it’s racing. Reduce unsprung weight. Find every advantage. If you want a cheap hobby, take up jacks.

Only if they are also limited to the right lane (in practice).

The fatigue of driving 16 hours is far more dangerous than an 85 MPH speed limit.

It’s not a lie - it’s speaking to an equivalent level of safety. Your point is that you want the roads safer (which they are, statistically, than 2000 - but not safe enough. Fair point). The poster is indicating that at an equivalent level of safety, you could increase the limit because of the advances in technology.

If we want fewer people driving, we need to make it harder to get a license, not more expensive to drive a car.

You need to make a distinction between speed limits on limited access highways versus speed limits in towns and cities. Speed limits on limited access highways have almost no correlation with traffic fatalities because there are so many intervening factors.

Almost all freeways should have no speed limits. Most road speed limits are too low. Many city speed limits are too high.

4K each day from now until the end of time. Pretty cheap.

Sorta. But transit activists take away lanes to reduce capacity, which keeps the level of gridlock the same or increases it.

Broken clocks and all.

Agreed (if it wasn’t clear from my first post).

I believe you’re confusing bandwidth with latency.

C3 Corvette, hands-down. Fell in love with the look, never cared how cheesy and over-the-top they looked or how by the ‘90s, they were being driven exclusively by divorced dads or guys who bought them new and never put a dollar of maintenance into them. So much exposed and tattered fiberglass and mismatched paint.

DeSoto, Eagle, and Imperial.

I go back to the story about undertaking in Germany. They pull you both over - the person who’s in the left lane inappropriately and the person who passed them on the right.

Thanks for keeping things civil, friend. I think you look like a model, too.

Just match speed and don't merge until the end. Boom, done.

Should be, “the right lane is for driving, all the left lanes are for passing.” Drives me nuts to see only Lane 2 of a four-lane road occupied.

Amended to: all the left lanes are for passing.
